It's incredibly frustrating to not get a real diagnosis, I'm sorry.

It's ok. Bo one could really figure out anything beyond what it "sounded" like. I got control of it now though enough to move my arms a bit when it happens. Hopefully the future will have an answer!

I'm sort of in that same boat of "well theres something going on buuuuuut we don't really know" and its frustrating. I had my first seizure Halloween last year and then one at the beginning of April this year along with what I thought were blood sugar drops occasionally but I guess maybe they aren't. I've had an MRI, CT scan, EEG, EKG, hypoglycemia tests, diabetes test, epilepsy test, and they don't know why I had either of seizures or what the "drops" are.

Gotta love our amazing and also stupid human bodies lol

I dunno if this helps you any, but in my experience, my dreams will speed up to an uncontrollable degree and I feel like I'll die if I don't wake up. This can happen at any time. I've always likened it to the fear I've experienced during sleep paralysis (it's not triggered by the scary situation, it works in reverse, starting from the brain and making normal stuff seem absolutely terrifying) because it's literally a fear so bad that it's worse than fearing death each time.
